It's Out Of My League!

My personality is one of encouragement and hope, so it is normal for me to dream big. In order to stay upbeat though, I have to intentionally seek to surround myself with positive people, readings and songs that uplift and encourage my soul to reach higher. I have also learned to set aside quiet times  each day where I can hear God's voice, his whisper and peace that the world does not give.

On my recent trip, I had the luxury of watching TV, not something I have at my home, for a variety of reasons, nonetheless though it was fun to watch shows I have enjoyed in the past and see new ones that I had never watched. What became apparent very quickly though was that I had to be intentional in choosing positive, happy, uplifting shows, as opposed to negative, scary and downright mean shows. I honestly was surprised at what I found, both good and bad.

What that brings me to is the need for all of us to choose what we put into our minds, with an understanding that it will directly result in what comes out of our spirit. Just like food, we can pig out for a while, but given bad choices over a period of time will result in poor health, sooner or later.

Today I would like to encourage all of us to dream big, reach high, become compassionate about something each day. Feel good about yourself and the choices you are making to not only be the best you can be today, but to help someone else along the way.

I personally am encouraged when I hear this song below, to keep pressing on when discouraged or tired and to keep reaching for the furthest star no matter how unlikely it may seem. I hope you also find the strength you need today, to dream big and make a difference in your world!
